a little bit more about me...
Chinese medicine maintains that our health is continually affected by our external environment and our reactions to that environment. Those reactions are in turn dictated by our internal emotional and physiological makeup, and this manifests differently in each individual. I combine careful observation and palpation of the body in order to tailor my treatment to your unique circumstances, and to focus on addressing the symptoms you are exhibiting.
​
Since graduating I have furthered my studies with many wonderful teachers, but most consistently under the superb guidance of Andrew Nugent-Head, whose style of Classical Chinese Medicine has influenced me greatly. His focus on effective and tangible treatments to produce observable and repeatable results has taken my understanding and application of the principles of Chinese medicine to another level altogether. This year I joined his group of Senior Practitioners, which entails a high level of continual commitment to the practice and development of classical acupuncture.
​
This style of classical acupuncture has as its foundation principles that are outlined in the original texts of Daoism and Chinese Medicine, compiled over 2000 years ago. Inherent in the system is an onus on the practitioner to cultivate their own health and sensitivity (maintaining a regular practice of qigong/taichi), which facilitates our work and enables us to advise our patients from an honest place of experienced learning. I have also studied Chinese Herbal Medicine (ShangHan Lun) with Arnaud Versluys and the ICEAM school, as well as completing 'apprenticeships' in the complementary channels with Sean Tuten and the London School of Acupuncture & Natural Medicine.
​
As part of my dedication to this practice, and in an attempt to pay homage to my excellent teachers, in 2020 I undertook a renovation project of an old Tabernacle Hall in W6. After a year of extensive building works, with 2 of my colleagues we opened Miller's Way Project - a human health endeavour to showcase the true power and efficacy of Chinese medicine (when practiced authentically) as well as meeting place for accomplished practitioners of many other therapies.
​Here I have the very great fortune of working collaboratively with other highly skilled and experienced practitioners. As a team we practice in very hands on and practical way, paying a lot of attention to physical structure and alignment as well as incorporating the more subtle aspects of diagnosis into our assessment of patients. We are also committed to making our work as accessible as possible to people regardless of their financial means and run a number of charity and low cost clinics.
